require setuptools and do a legitimate "python setup.py test"

Issue #3489 resolved
Mike Bayer repo owner created an issue

pytest is pretty much set on this way for "python setup.py test" to work without silliness, so let's just drop the "run without setuptools" thing, a setuptools-less Python environment these days does not exist.

this is important because the hack we do right now at the end says "ran one test", and looks ridiculous.
